In the heart of downtown Montreal. A relaxed, inviting & traditional atmosphere for formal or informal dining. Incredible choice & variety assures everyone will be satisfied! Large sushi bar, tatami rooms, private party room. Sakura has great Sushi and Tempura, but Agedofu and Yakitori are recommended as well.
Jardins SAKURA Garden is described by patrons as a cozy, authentic Japanese dining spot with a welcoming, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. The food is generally praised for good quality and flavor, with sushi, sukiyaki, and bento options highlighted and portions often seen as generous for the price when meals are prepared to order, and a playful note is the small robot delivering meals to tables. Some reviews mention occasional flaws such as sushi rolls arriving a bit loose, a salad in the set menu being overdressed, and meals taking longer than expected, along with at checkout not always receiving acknowledgment. A few diners call it a hidden gem and appreciate the old school Showa era vibes and attentive staff, while others mention the price point as high for the level of novelty or certain menu items. Overall, Jardins SAKURA Garden comes across as a solid, authentic Japanese option worth returning to, with room to smooth out consistency and communication.
Nice atmosphere & a comfortable dining environment. The food was decent but fairly average. A few sushi rolls arrived already falling apart, & the salad in the set menu had quite a lot of dressing.
Service during the meal was friendly, though the food took a bit longer than expected. When we mentioned our feedback at checkout, there was no acknowledgment or apology, which was a little disappointing. Overall, a pleasant place, but there is room for improvement.
Quaint Japanese restaurant about 350m from the Bell Centre. It's located on the 2nd floor at the intersection of Stanley & Cypress so there are some stairs to climb. It's right next to the Italian restaurant & the signage isn't as obvious so you might miss it. Had the Bento du jour, which was quite generous in its servings. The fried tofu was pretty good, & the teriyaki salmon was a good serving served on a bed of rice. It came with 3 pieces of sushi & 4 California rolls that were very good. I enjoyed the small spring roll it came with as it was a different flavour to the fish pieces. The tempura was nice & light & the skewer of teriyaki chicken was very flavourful. Not shown in the picture but also included was a bowl of miso soup, salad & a dessert that included a scoop of green tea ice cream & a cup of hot green tea. Pretty good value bento box! Super friendly older lady was serving everyone & I was surprised they weren't busier. I wasn't sure how big the bento box would be so ordered a spicy salmon roll & 2 pieces of spicy tuna, both were great!

I've ordered the evening sushi sashimi set dinner. The food & service were both very good.
However, on the menu it says 6 pieces of sashimi, but it was actually 3 pieces but cut in half to make 6. Very dishonest & insincere business owners... Very unfortunate.
Wowww , très bon sushi, a très bon prix je ne suis pas déçu. Très cute le petit robot qui apporte a manger au table. Beau plateau de présentation. Merci au chef un gros wow 👌 belle découverte 😍
Loved every single thing I ate there from the tasty miso soup to the incredible sushis. You can feel the thoughtfulness & quality in every single dish. The portion sizing was perfect for me. I took the combo of sushi makis & I found that the price was very reasonable for what I was getting which was quality & tasty food that didn't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic afterwards. Waiting time for our food didn't take long & as one dish was done, the other dish was coming in so I'd say the service was super smooth & it definitely helped with the overall pleasant restaurant experience. I'd definitely come back here, super happy to have found this gem of a place!

The interior of this restaurant has a retro Japan feel with decor & music to bring that ambiance. The service was friendly & efficient. There are vegetarian sushi & Bento options. The Bento boxes were presented beautifully & there were some uncommon items like lettuce leaf in my sushi roll & cucumber & potato tempura. The veg Bento was about $30, which was quite a higher price for the quality of the food, but in this case I guess the price is to reflect the experience of the atmosphere. Overall, the experience was okay.
Ambiance typique japonaise. Musique douce japonaise. Service impeccable. Meilleur sushi que j'ai mangé à Montréal & je suis montréalaise d'origine & suis fervente de sushi. J'ai pris le Happy Combo avec sushi & sashimi. Je recommande fortement & reviendrai assurément!

This might have been the single best sushi experience I have had in Montreal. The lunch combo I ordered came with miso soup, small salad, tempura, sashimi, nigiri, hoso & futo Maki's, green tea & ice cream. The miso soup was cloudly, perfectly hot & flavorful. The tempura included shrimp, zucchini, eggplant & sweet potato all expertly fried, light & had no greasiness to them at all. The sashimi was a good variety of tuna, salmon & snapper. All of which were fresh & clean tasting. The nigiri were very well prepared with perfectly seasoned rice & wasabi used in the perfect proportion. Rolls were varied & balanced with different textures & flavors. The meal was finished off with hot tea & green tea ice cream. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The meal was paced very well by the waiter & it was nice to feel so taken care of. Including a diet coke, all this was had for the incredible price of $34.49 including taxes. For the quality of the food & the experience, I cannot recommend Sakura enough.
The best tempura & sushi I've ever had, & the workers were so nice!! My mother's been here a lot & told me a bit about its history & I admire the owners so much. Everyone is so lovely.
relaxed little sushi spot I went to for the first time since it moved from the old Katsura. Our friends are not huge sushi fans but loved the steak on their daily specials which seem to generally be good deals. They also shared a sukiyaki that they are still talking about. My date & I had an assortmentof sushi that as an ex-vancouverite I can say was all very skillfully preparded & fresh.
